The Diabetic Foot Syndrome (DFS) is a chronic relapsing/remitting disease affecting more than 3 million patients in Europe, exposing them to a risk of lower extremity amputations and death which has been estimated 20 times higher than the general population. The real prevalence and severity of DFS has so far largely been underestimated and its systemic aspects neglected. We profit of the occasion of presenting a series of DFS cases of ours, to display the complexity and the severity of DFS, which ranges from local hyperacute presentation to systemic chronic multiorgan decompensation, with the aim of adequately depict the real extent of this terrible disease for the benefit of our patients and their doctors.

摘要

The Diabetic Foot Syndrome (DFS) is a chronic relapsing/remitting disease affecting more than 3 million patients in Europe, exposing them to a risk of lower extremity amputations and death which has been estimated 20 times higher than the general population. The real prevalence and severity of DFS has so far largely been underestimated and its systemic aspects neglected. We profit of the occasion of presenting a series of DFS cases of ours, to display the complexity and the severity of DFS, which ranges from local hyperacute presentation to systemic chronic multiorgan decompensation, with the aim of adequately depict the real extent of this terrible disease for the benefit of our patients and their doctors.
